When trying to compare our film with others we found two very different films that both had similarities with our own. These are 'It's a boy girl thing' and 'Adulthood.' Both are teen dramas but the main difference is that 'It's a boy girl thing' and 'Adulthood' are higher budget films than ours.
‘Adulthood’ is more closely comparable to our film as it also has a gritty life like style in which its filmed. A lot of the time the editing also creates the feel of you watching things happen on first hand. ‘It’s a boy girl thing’ contrasts more with our film than ‘Adulthood’ as it has a much more positive storyline and has a more glossy Hollywood look to it. However, there are some similarities between ‘It’s a boy girl thing’ and ‘The Simple Truth' such as both are teen dramas and are about boys meeting girls.
‘It’s a boy girl thing’ contrasts with our film as the editing invites the audience to watch the drama as it happens but from the outside perspective rather than really drawing the viewer in to witness it as if they are present.
In the beginning of 'The Simple Truth' we decided not to give our characters any exposition and instead chose to dive straight into the drama with a brief establishing shot as the first image.
What also sets 'The Simple Truth' aside from other films is that there is no character transformation involved and no happy ending. 'It's a boy girl thing' contains a happy ending so the endings of the two films can be contrasted.
